Who is the referee?

Anthony Taylor will be the man in the middle this weekend. The Cheshire referee has taken charge of two City games so far this season: the 3-2 home defeat to Liverpool in September as well as the 2-1 victory over Tottenham in November.

Leicester have an excellent record in the games refereed by Taylor, having lost just four of the 21 matches. In total: P21 W11 D6 L4.

Who is Swansea’s danger man?

Jordan Ayew has been crucial in Swansea’s attempts to drag themselves off the foot of the Premier League table and give them increasing hope of survival.

The 26-year-old has scored four goals in his last seven Premier League appearances, including one in their stunning 3-1 win over Arsenal last time out.

Alfie Mawson also has a habit of causing City problems. The defender has scored in both the previous two meetings between the sides and grabbed the winner against Liverpool last month.

Previous meetings

City faced Swansea in south Wales back in October, with Leicester coming away 2-1 winners at the Liberty Stadium.

A Federico Fernandez own goal and a further striker from Shinji Okazaki secured a victory for caretaker boss Michael Appleton, in his one and only Premier League game in charge following the sacking of Craig Shakespeare.

The last meeting at the King Power Stadium also ended in a City win, as Jamie Vardy and Wes Morgan gave Leicester their first win of the 2016/17 season.
